I was really planning on continuing the cockpit Today however my reference shows various different instrument panel layouts so I've asked my source to confirm what the historically correct layout would be.

In the meantime I've added various details on the main wing like brackets to lift the plane to mount ski's, the fuel cap and the grounding point for when refuelling.
After that I finished up the tail section with the exception of the wheel which I still need to do, so that is pretty much done now as well.

The master plan this weekend was to finish the instrument panels as my source was able to provide me with templates of the factory plans. But of course when I got the instrument panels modelled to spec it turned out the top of my fuselage was a bit too flat.
So in the end I had to reshape the top of the fuselage and both windscreens leaving me very little time to do the actual instrument panels themselves

It's been a while since the last update because of the holiday season and moving country but the last two days I was able to pick this one up again.

With the influx of new reference photos I was able to finish up both instrument panels. The only thing missing is a Watch Holder on the front panel but I've got no reference photos for that. I've also finished up pretty much all other instruments in the cockpit and did a corrective pass on the elevator which was too fat.

Next up some final tweaks to the cockpit and then it's on to the landing gears and some minor tweaks to the exhaust shrouds. After that I think this model is done

Eventually my client will use this model for animation purposes and I will personally use it for stills.

I'm still working on finishing the model itself, the last couple of weeks have been quite busy with other things and I'm really struggling with the winter canopy (enclosed hood) because I've got very little accurate photographic evidence, no measurements of anything and there are a lot of custom "hack" jobs around as well.
